What can you expect
Get picked up in the early morning from your hotel in Phuket by Andaman Leisure and meet the boat crew at Phuket Boat Lagoon including a quick COVID-19 screening and a short briefing about the trip.
Then cruise on a comfortable speedboat with 2 or 3 engines (with 20 resp. 30 seats) to the 6 islands in the Phi Phi Islands archipelago. After a 45-minute ride, make a first stop at the uninhabited island of Phi Phi Leh. Explore the lagoon of the iconic Maya Bay where you can spot black tip reef sharks circling over the shallow coral reef, and jump into the cool waters at Loh Sama with many beautiful corals and tropical fish.
Continue to Pi Leh Bay on the west coast of Phi Phi Leh, with 100-meter-high vertical cliffs rising from the water. Most of the bay has shade, except at midday, and it offers excellent snorkelling opportunities at its entrance. Continue to Koh Phi Phi Don with a short stop at Viking Cave, where swiftlet birds’ nests are harvested, and at Monkey Beach, a stunning 150-meter-long strip of white powdery sand.
After arrival at Ton Sai Pier on the main island, walk to the large ton sai (banyan) tree which marks one end of the path between Tonsai Bay and Loh Dalum Bay at the narrowest part of the isthmus. Enjoy a Thai style lunch at the Phi Phi Harbour View Hotel which lies in Tonsai Village between the 2 beaches.
In the afternoon you will visit Bamboo Island lying approximately 5 km off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don. This island is a stunning tropical hot spot that offers the perfect getaway from crowds, with a notable coral reef known as Hin Klang. It provides visitors with the sensation of swimming in an aquarium. If the weather conditions are too poor, you will alternatively visit Koh Rang Yai, a peaceful island about 5 km off the east coast of Phuket before returning to the pier and hotel.
